Quinoa
Delicious, gluten free, high protein and technically a seed not a grain, its a pseudograin! The perfect introductory ‘grain’ for your babies that is power packed with nutrients and a delicious earthy flavour. It is considered a 'complete' protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids, so its a great addition for a plant-based diet. I often make a big batch at the beginning of each week, as it’s so easy to incorporate into lunches and dinners, and it freezes well too.

Veggie-Bomb ‘Pasta’ Sauce

But, I have come to realise that thats the beauty of this recipe, it can be changed and ingredients substituted and it still seems to taste amazing no matter the way you make it!So, why does it change each time? Well, the beauty of this recipe is that it is the epitome of #nowaste - this recipe has been designed to use all of those old, sad, forgotten about vegetables wilting in the bottom of your fridge at the end of the week that would most likely otherwise go to waste! And if you are anything like me, those vegetables vary every week.
